While I do my best to eat salads for lunch during the winter months, I find myself gravitating towards soups and breads when it’s chilly outside. But come spring and summer, I’m enjoying a delicious salad for lunch most days of the week. And I especially love picking lettuce and spinach leaves from my garden.

I enjoy making my own vinaigrettes for my salads as well, and anytime I have Mandarin oranges on a salad, there’s usually a soy-sesame dressing on top.
